While looking up the St Eugene’s graveyard, I came upon the boundaries of Moyle Glebe townland. Here is the link: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl/TYR/Newtownstewart/StEugene
Also, a while back I discovered this link via google. http://www.parksandgardens.org/places-and-people/site/2355?preview=1 It is a government link. It makes reference to the location of “Moyle House”. The site doesn’t seem to know the significance of Moyle House. I checked and it is within Moyle Glebe, and it fits the description of where Sir Thomas Maclear was born. I believe it might have been where the Rev James Thomas Maclear (his father) lived. Here are some of the references to Moyle Cottage: It is where Sir Thomas Maclear (the Rev’s son) saw his first light. Was born. It is where Sir Thomas Maclear’s mother, Mary McGrath, died. Anyway, just a bit of trivia. When we go to Newtownstewart in June I will check it out. (promise not to trespass!) Oh by the way, the significance to me is that my 3rd Great Grandmother, Martha (Maclear) Chambers was a daughter of the Rev James Thomas Maclear. Meanwhile, I have the location of St Eugene’s Graveyard. Thanks Len and Carmen for your ideas on Moyle Cottage. Tom
